There is a reason healing in your mother tongue can feel different. The words you learned first, at the kitchen table and in the school playground, are often the words your oldest feelings are stored in. When you speak about those feelings in another language, something can get lost, or kept politely at a distance.
Soulful by Lorena offers every ThetaHealing and Spiritual Coaching session in Albanian or English, at exactly the same price. This post explains why that choice exists, how to decide which language is right for you, and what to expect either way.
In short
- Sessions with Lorena are available in Albanian or English, online, at the same price.
- Many people find it easier to express early feelings in the language they grew up with.
- Others prefer English, or move between the two. There is no wrong choice.
- You can tell Lorena your preference when you book or during your free discovery call.
Why language matters in inner work
ThetaHealing works with beliefs and memories, and a lot of those were formed in childhood. If you grew up speaking Albanian, the voice in your head that says "be careful" or "don't ask for too much" may well speak Albanian too.
In the first part of every session you talk about what you want to shift: a fear, a pattern, a block. That conversation is the foundation for everything after it. The more precisely you can put a feeling into words, the clearer the starting point. For many people, precision comes most easily in their first language.
None of this is a scientific claim about the brain. It is a common-sense observation that most bilingual people recognise: some things simply sound truer in one language than another.
Healing in your mother tongue: what it can feel like
People choosing a session in their first language often describe a few things:
- Fewer pauses to translate. You can say what you feel instead of what you know how to say.
- Family words come through intact. Phrases a parent or grandparent used, with their exact tone, can be named as they were.
- Less performing. Speaking a second language can feel like being slightly "on", even when you are fluent.
- A sense of home. For people living far from where they grew up, hearing their language in a calm, private setting can feel grounding.
These are experiences people report, not outcomes anyone can promise. They are also a useful checklist when you are deciding which language to choose.
When English might suit you better
Your mother tongue is not automatically the best choice. Some people deliberately choose English because it gives them a little distance from painful memories, and distance can make it easier to look at something without being overwhelmed.
Others have spent most of their adult life in English. Their working self, their friendships and their reflective thinking all happen in English, so it simply feels more natural. And some people are not Albanian at all, which is why every session is fully available in English.
You can also mix. It is perfectly fine to speak mostly English and slip into Albanian when a particular phrase or memory comes up. Lorena works in both languages, so you do not need to choose one rigidly.
Same price, same session, either language
The language you choose changes nothing about the structure or cost of the work. Every ThetaHealing session lasts 75 minutes on Zoom and follows the same four steps: we talk, we go deep, we release, we integrate. The coaching arc of Vision, Alignment and Creation works in the same way in either language.
Prices are identical:
- Free discovery call: 15 minutes, no commitment.
- Single Session: €170 for 75 minutes.
- 5-Session Transformation: €710, the most chosen option.
- 3-Month Journey: €1,250.
- 6-Month Deep Transformation: €2,500.
You can see full details on the sessions and packages page, and there is also a scholarship for anyone who cannot afford sessions.
How to choose your language
If you are unsure, these questions can help:
- Which language did you speak at home as a child? If what you want to work on started early, that language may be closer to it.
- Which language do you think in when you are anxious or upset? Your inner voice is a strong clue.
- Do you want closeness or a little distance? Your first language often brings closeness; a second language can bring breathing room.
- Where do you feel least self-conscious? Choose the language in which you worry least about how you sound.
You can also ask Lorena directly. The free 15-minute discovery call is a good place to try speaking in both and notice what feels easier.
A note on privacy and online sessions
Some people worry that speaking about personal matters in Albanian might feel less private, especially if they live close to family or in a small community. Sessions with Lorena are one-to-one, confidential and judgement-free, and they happen online, so you can join from wherever you feel safest.
Because sessions run on Zoom at Albanian local time (CET), with the booking page converting the time to your own time zone, the language option is open to you wherever you live. If you are part of the diaspora, ThetaHealing for Albanians abroad covers the practical side in more detail.
